Thursday 14th November at the Municipal Museum in Albacete
​UPDATE - Unfortunately I have decided to cancel my trip to the amazing Maldito festival this year due to the flash flooding in SE Spain. I was going to be going to other parts before the festival and due to health related issues I feel it better not to go. The event will happen though, so all is not lost.  Here is what I was going to be showing, for the record!
... a small retrospective of my own video poems at leading avant-garde video poetry festival Maldito, this year. Paintings often inspire my work, as well as collaborating with both of my daughters, who are both in different areas of performance. My work with authorial poetry films, or subjective poetry films that I have conceived through both poems and audiovisual material has culminated in my autobiographical poetry collection Unexhibited (2025) and the poetry film Flight is the prologue to that work. Flight combines a childhood with a mother suffering from depression, alongside drone footage of the Cornish coast.

Frame to Frames : Your Eyes Follow tour
... presenting the bilingual poetry anthology with QR link to poetry films – Frame to Frames : Your Eyes Follow  and also showing films from the project. The book has toured around the world throughout 2024 and I am particularly excited to be at Maldito as the year ends.
 
‘Described as an innovative and unique project, Frame to Frames: Your Eyes Follow is a bilingual (English and Spanish) poetry book with a QR link to a screening of 17 poetry films made from poems. An international reference work, the first of its kind in this field, which celebrates both translation and transmedia, showcasing a wide variety of examples of the art of poetry cinema and its adaptation to the screen.’

So happy that Flight has been accepted for OBheal in Cork this year!!! As I have said it is a very personal poem about my isolated childhood where my mother suffered depression, and I was lucky to make the connection to the visual imagery I had been given of a drone flight along the Cornish coast. Also, my admiration for the Cornish painter Peter Lanyon who made paintings from the view from his glider, and also died following a gliding accident. I wrote a poem about one of his paintings ‘The Last Green Mile’  (Transitional : Otter Gallery Anthology, Chichester University, 2015). With grateful thanks to the poet Linda Cleary, director of the Home (Dis)Place(d) Project, Women in Word Festival, 2024 Hypatia Trust, Cornwall, UK. She helped inspire the piece. Flight is from the commissioned poetry collection Unexhibited (2025). Within the visuals lie my early artwork - FLOOR sculpture with dust and carpet, and extracts of neo expressionist paintings (1980s) and also of Peter Lanyon's abstract paintings, too. I would like to add that the translation took some doing, if you look at the complex meaning behind the words you will see that my translator Camilo Bosso did a fantastic job. But it took a few goes!!

Thrilled that FLIGHT has been selected for Aotearoa Festival in Wellington, New Zealand 20-21November. You can also see the film on my channel on YouTube or Vimeo and the next post. As it was a much more personal poem and film about my childhood I am really touched that it is being shown. The commissioned collection Unexhibited is out in 2025. THANK YOU so much 😊

So honoured that leading poet and poetry filmmaker Patricia Killelea (Associate Professor at Northern Michigan University) has interviewed me on FtoF, ekphrasis and adaptation for Moving Poems.
 
I had just been to the We Need to Talk about Art : Ekphrasis Now conference at Leeds (on the tour venues for the book) and had a good sense of what I wanted to say. She came up with some really insightful and detailed questions and it was a real pleasure to give thought to the answers. There is also a link to the documentary on ekphrastic poetry films made for REELpoetry and the screening in its entirety for FOTOGENIA. There was more of a focus on films based on Huapango Torero, but all the films have been mentioned.
